I've used a sonic cleaner with the product it came with for cleaning and there was not much removed from the baffles. I'm thinking of trying the sonic cleaner with ROLEXrifleman's suggestion of CLR. It might speed up the process.Will a sonic cleaner work for cleaning baffles?
Don't buy a suppressor with aluminum baffles...
10-4, the baffles I pictured was purely a 4 hour soak in CLR and a quick nylon brush off of each baffle. After that I hosted them down with oil and wiped off. An ultra sonic with CLR would cut the time in half I believe as the ultrasonic cleaner will warm the temp of the CLR and break apart the crud with the ultrasonic waves.
If it’s stainless steel then use CLR on the baffles. Soak for 3 hours and brush off with a nylon brush. It’s toxic but gets the job done n a hurry with no elbow grease
Make sure the pan on your ultrasonic isn't aluminium.10-4, the baffles I pictured was purely a 4 hour soak in CLR and a quick nylon brush off of each baffle.

So soda blasting is about the only way to get aluminum baffles cleaned?
And guys, don’t confuse “the dip” with CLR. The dip is a combination of white vinegar and hydrogen peroxide. CLR is just the plain old household cleaner. The dip once mixed, in and of itself, becomes a toxic solution. Not that CLR is any less harmful but I remeber reading that the vinegar and peroxide mix is worse. And this is even before we add the lead to the mix
